How to get names of person from webpage in selenium

Question

From Python I have opened the following webpage:

https://www.interpol.int/en/How-we-work/Notices/View-Red-Notices

chromedriver_path = r"./driver/chromedriver"
browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=chromedriver_path)
url = "https://www.interpol.int/en/How-we-work/Notices/View-Red-Notices"


topics_xpath = '//*[@id="noticesResultsItemList"]/div[1]/div/div/div[2]/div[1]/a'
browser.get(url)
escolhe = browser.find_element("xpath", topics_xpath)
time.sleep(10)
escolhe.click()
time.sleep(60)
browser.close()

Now, I need to get the names of the people shown in that page.

Does anybody know how to do it, please?

Answer 1

Selenium has a very useful implicit wait feature which means that use of sleep() should be redundant. Use of this feature means that Selenium will wait for up to the specified number of seconds for an element to come into existence.

Something like this:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

IW = 5
URL = 'https://www.interpol.int/en/How-we-work/Notices/View-Red-Notices'

chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
chrome_options.add_argument("--headless")

service = Service('/Volumes/G-Drive/chromedriver')

with webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=chrome_options) as wbe:
    wbe.implicitly_wait(IW)
    wbe.get(URL)
    if (div := wbe.find_element(By.ID, 'noticesResultsItemList')):
        for sd in div.find_elements(By.CLASS_NAME, 'redNoticeItem__labelLink'):
            print(sd.text.replace('\n', ' '))

Output:
